Too much skin removal which has caused lagophthalmos and dry eyes, anything I can do for it? (Photo)

Asked By:rhl789 in United Kingdom, GB

Had a bad eyelid surgery 4 years ago and too much skin was removed causing lagophthalmos and dry/bloodshot eyes on a daily basis. 6 weeks ago I had a mullerectomy in the UK to lower the eyelids a bit. It has helped to relieve dry eyes somewhat but not fully. I still get bloodshot eyes and some incomplete closure. My eyes also now look hollow and the lid crease appears higher which I dislike. Is there anything that can be done to help both dry eyes and hollowness? or either one if not both?
